Zhao Junsheng listened to the admonition of the ministers, waved his hand to the imperial guards, and asked them to retreat, no longer embarrassed by the poison mission.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Sai Jiantuo hurriedly thanked him.

Zhao Junsheng suddenly asked, "Since this Tiemoro mage is fake, where did the real Tiemoro mage go?" ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, yes, what about the real Tiemoro mage?

Hearing this, the poisonous prince Sai Jiantuo thought about it, slapped his head and said, "We haven't been out much in the past few days since we entered the city, and Master Timoro must still be in the embassy!" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Prince, you quickly and personally lead a team of forbidden troops to the embassy to search and see if Master Tiemoro is hidden in the embassy, if not, it means that she was transferred before entering the city!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhao Dong stood up, hugged his fists and agreed, walked out of the hall, lit up a team of forbidden troops, and headed towards the poisonous embassy as fast as possible.

Less than half an hour later, the crown prince Zhao Dong took the soldiers of the forbidden army and left with a middle-aged female nun who was poisoned, and this bhikshuni was Tiemoro.

"Qi Qi father, Erchen fortunately did not disgrace his life, he found her under the bed of the Venerable Tie Moro of the Poisoned Embassy, she was still in a coma at the time, Erchen asked her to wake her up, the imperial doctor has seen it, there is nothing wrong with this mage!"

Temoro clasped his hands together: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the poor nun is polite!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Master, do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?" ”

Temoro replied: "In the morning, the poor nun was doing morning class in the room, and suddenly he heard someone pushing the door in without knocking on the door, and when he opened his eyes, he only felt a figure flashing in front of him, and felt a pain in his neck, and then he fell unconscious, and he didn't know that he had been knocked unconscious until he was rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened during the time when the poor nun was in a coma?"

Prince Sejiantuo immediately told the details of the incident just now that someone had pretended to be her to follow the envoy into the palace to assassinate the emperor.

After hearing this, Temora looked sad, folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't see the clue, nodded and said, "Let the mage be frightened, I will definitely send troops to strengthen the security of the poison embassy!" But please rest assured, the security of my Daqian has always been very good, this time the assassin of the Song Kingdom pretended to be a mage to assassinate this assassin has been wanted and pursued by my Daqian, she has been forced to jump over the wall, there will be no such thing in the future, you can rest assured to stay in the embassy! ”

"Today happens to be the Duanyang Festival in my Middle-earth world, it is not easy for His Royal Highness the Prince and you to come to my big job, tonight, I will hold a banquet in the Xingqing Palace, and I also invite His Royal Highness the Prince, Master Temora and Mr. Kalitosa to be sure to enjoy the light! At that time, I will also invite envoys from other countries to accompany me! ”

Prince Sejianta bowed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, Xiao Wang and Master Timora will definitely go to the banquet on time!" ”

After the court meeting, the ministers and members of the poison mission left one after another.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to the old eunuch Kang Yide and ordered: "You go and call Liang Lin and Lu Xuan!" ”

"No!"

Soon, Liang Lin and Lu Xuan, who were about to leave the palace, were called back.

"Your Majesty!" The two came to the imperial study to salute Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and said: "The two ministers are exempt from courtesy, I plan to give a secret edict to Chang Kun, let him raise troops to raid Huainan, and push the eastern border line to the Yangtze River. ”

Liang Lian thought for a while and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to raid Huainan, but if you send troops in a hurry, General Chang is not prepared, and the follow-up is weak, if the Song army is well guarded, we are afraid that we will not be able to take advantage!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said: "I have already considered this matter, our army is not prepared to send troops, and the Song army will not think that we will send troops to attack them at this time, so their preparations must be insufficient, I just want to take advantage of their defenselessness to attack suddenly, our army only needs to hit the Yangtze River, and there are no conditions to cross the river for the time being!" ”

"The reason why I called the two of you here is to ask you to draft a secret edict to Chang Kun, and the news can't spread yet, so you can't make a big splash, so as not to make the Song army guarded! When the war really starts, I will issue a clear decree again, and I will send troops under the pretext of assassinating the princess of the Song Kingdom today, and the subjects of the world will definitely support the decision of the imperial court with the same hatred! ”

Liang Lin and Lu Xuan looked at each other, knowing that Zhao Junsheng had made up his mind, so he had to agree: "Obey!" ”

Zhao Junsheng then asked the eunuch to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and asked Lu Xuan to draft and polish, which was proofread by Liang Lian, Zhao Junsheng agreed after reading it, and then transcribed it again, and Zhao Junsheng checked it again and signed his name and seal.

The reason why the secret edict is a secret edict is that it is directly sent to the person receiving the edict without going through the relevant yamen of the imperial court, and Zhao Junsheng asked Liang Liang to send an 800-mile expedited horse to Chang Kun overnight.

Four days later, the edict was sent to Xuzhou.

Chang Kun, who was stationed in Xuzhou, quickly made preparations after receiving the secret edict, and it took only three days to gather 20,000 horses and 100,000 stones, grains and grass to cross the Huai River south, and captured Zhongli County, a military town on the south bank of the Huai River, in two days.

Within a few days, Matou and Yuzhou in the west were successively breached, and a large number of Song troops were captured.

Before the Song court could react, Chang Kun commanded the army to continue southward, and Hailing, Guangling, and Nanruyin were soon captured by the cadre army.

It was not until this incident that Zhao Junsheng received a report from Chang Kun that he sent an 800-mile urgent war report, and he ordered to raise an army to attack him under the pretext that the Song State sent the princess of Nanjun to assassinate him, and ordered to kill the princess of Nanjun to sacrifice the banner and give the soldiers a strong march.

When the news reached Jiankang, the Song Dynasty was in a panic, last year lost Yizhou and Jingxiang, the army lost 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and the financial and tax losses were one-third, and now the cadres have begun to attack Huainan, how can this be good?

There was a mess in the court of the Song State, some people advocated a desperate battle with the Qianguo, some people advocated the cession of Huainan and peace talks with the Qianguo, only in this way could the Song State get a chance to breathe, otherwise the Qianguo would not stop attacking for a year, and the Song State would not be able to resist at all, and the losses of last year had not yet recovered, so where would they still have the strength to fight hard with the Qianguo now?

However, we can't ignore the attacking cadre army, and if we allow the cadre army to attack southward, I am afraid that in a few days, it will hit the edge of the long sword and face Jiankang across the river.

Liu Jun sat on the throne and listened to the quarrels of the courtiers very irritated, and couldn't help but be furious, patting the imperial case and shouting: "You can't beat it, if you don't fight, you will be beaten by them to Jiankang City, you so-called loyal courtiers should think of a way!" ”

The military general Xiao Siyan stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, we should quickly send 10,000 troops across the river to deal with the cadres and the army, not seeking to kill or injure their troops, but only to delay their offensive speed, they rushed to attack, and the preparation was insufficient, it must be a lack of follow-up, as long as it is supported for a month, the cadres will definitely withdraw if they cannot continue to attack!" ”

Minister Wang Shengqian stood up against it: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, the cavalry of the Qianjun army is brave, if our army hastily sends troops to meet the battle, the morale of the army is low, you are not an opponent at all, I have not many soldiers and horses in Jiankang, and then send 10,000 people to cross the river to the north, Jiankang's troops will only be 20,000 people, if there is any rebellion and rebellion in other places, the imperial court will send troops to reinforce, and then there will be few troops left in Jiankang City, how to ensure the safety of Your Majesty and the royal family?" ”

"At this time, the cadres are in full swing, and sending troops across the river to meet the battle at this time is tantamount to sending them to death, and the minister thinks that the top priority is to preserve the strength, let's shrink the troops and horses first, let all the troops in other places in Huainan retreat, retreat to Jiankanglai, and block the offensive of the cadres with the Yangtze River and the naval warships, the cadres can only stop at the north bank of the Yangtze River, as long as our army is still strong, wait until the negotiations with the cadres are over, and with the wealth of our Jiangnan, we can launch a counteroffensive in less than three years!"

Liu Jun was a little moved by Wang Shengqian's suggestion, but if the cadres were allowed to fight to the Yangtze River, the two sides would only be separated by a river, which would be too dangerous.

At this time, the minister Zhang Chang stood up and saluted and said: "If Your Majesty is worried that after the Qianjun army captures Jiangbei, it is only a river away from Jiankang, and the distance is too close, the minister suggests moving the capital!" ”

"Move the capital?" Liu Jun was stunned.

When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard this suggestion, they immediately exploded, the matter of moving the capital involved too wide a wide range and involved the interests of many people, and they were completely unprepared in advance, and at this time, the families of these people would definitely suffer heavy losses in moving the capital.

Many ministers immediately objected, and even if they wanted to move the capital, they would have to give them a buffer time.

Liu Jun ignored the discussions and objections of these ministers, and immediately asked Zhang Chang: "Where does Zhang Qing think it is better to go?" ”

Zhang Chang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the capital can be moved to Qiantang!" ”

"Qiantang?"

"Yes, the scenery of Qiantang is pleasant, suitable for the emperor to live, if the capital is moved to Qiantang, our army can confront the Qianjun army in Jiankang, with the combat strength of our army's naval division, it can completely hold Jiankang, and His Majesty is not in Jiankang, the generals in front can let go of their hands and feet to command!"

Xiao Siyan immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Zhang's proposal to move the capital to Qiantang, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to block the cadres in Jiankang and wait for the opportunity to move!" ”

Liu Jun agreed after only a short period of consideration: "Okay, it's decided, pass on my will, the ministers of the imperial court and the yamen will go to Qiantang with me three days later, and appoint Xiao Sihua as the general of Zhenbei to sit in Jiankang and lead the three armies to resist the enemy!" Appointed Wang Shengqian as an envoy to Qianguo for peace talks! ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Song State set off from Jiankang to Qiantang, and the cadres and troops hit the riverside, and Jiankang is only separated by a river, the cadres have no warships and sailors on the long sword, and the river is blocked by the Song army's sailors, and the cadres can not cross the river, so they can only stop here.

May 28.

Zhao Junsheng practiced swords in the imperial garden, and the minister Pei Jin came to report: "Your Majesty, General Chang Kun sent someone to send 800 miles of expedited fast horses to say that our army has fully occupied Jiangbei, and the Song army has retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, but our army is blocked by the Yangtze River, and the Song army has a sailor division rampant on the river, our army can only look at it and sigh, he said that the Song court sent a mission to negotiate peace with our dynasty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng heard the words and said: "You can talk about it, but the territory that has been laid down can no longer be caught, this is the bottom line, and finally the compensation for military expenses, tribute money and food can be negotiated as much as you want, let Honglu Temple do it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
